Django Unchained, like all Tarantino movies does not disappoint his ardent followers. I was quite impressed with this movie except I could not get into the hero's emotions. This has a lot to do with Jamie Foxx's uninspiring performance as the hero Django. On the other hand Christoph Waltz with his beautiful German accented speech, steals the show in this movie. He rightfully won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars. I think he should have been nominated for the Best Actor Role because he has as much a hero's role as Jamie Foxx.
Another stellar performance is by Samuel L Jackson. He plays Stephen who is a house slave but one who enjoys better treatment by his master because he controls the remaining slaves. Stephen hates his own people and is a co-racist with his white master. Jackson's acting brings out this feeling superbly. Leonardo Di Caprio as the master Mr. Candy has a devilishly delicious role and he plays it with abandon. Some of the best scenes in the movie involve Leo and Jackson especially the dinner table scene.
The movie has the characteristic elements one sees in a Tarantino movie. There is a lot violence, blood, swearing and bad language. There is also wacky humor - especially the scene involving the KKK members conducting a ride. There is good music too.
I felt that some parts of the movie were a bit dry - especially the scenes involving Django. The movie could have been a bit shorter. The script is fantastic - full marks to Tarantino. Overall it is a good movie.
I will rate it a 7 on 10.
